Tromsø: Tromsø Airport - Kvaløya
Tromsø combines Arctic-city convenience with a rugged island setting in a way that reflects its coastal position among the sounds and mountains of northern Norway. The city spreads across Tromsøya, while Kvaløya rises beyond Sandnessundet, the narrow strait crossed by the Sandnessund Bridge. Tromsø Airport at Langnes stands close to this western shore and provides essential air links for the region. Tromsø developed as an important centre for fishing, hunting and polar expeditions. Today, its university, museums and compact urban centre give the city a cultural importance unusual at this latitude, with fjords and island roads beginning just beyond its built-up districts.
